A train slows down as it rounds a sharp horizontal turn, going from 92.0 km/h to 54.0 km/h in the 16.0 s that it takes to round

the bend. The radius of the curve is 130 m. Compute the acceleration at the moment the train speed reaches 54.0 km/h. Assume the train continues to slow down at this time at the same rate.

Calculation of centripetal acceleration(ac):

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

we can change our speed in terms of m/s

v=54km/h=54*\frac{1000}{3600} m/s

now, we can plug these values

a_c=\frac{(54*\frac{1000}{3600})^2}{130}

a_c=1.73077m/s^2

Calculation of tangential acceleration(at):

a_t=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

now, we can plug values

a_t=\frac{(54-92)*\frac{1000}{3600} }{16}

now, we can simplify it

a_t=-0.65972 m/s^2

Calculation of resultant acceleration:

a=\sqrt{(a_c)^2+(a_t)^2}

now, we can plug values

a=\sqrt{(1.73077)^2+(-0.65972)^2}

a=1.85224m/s^2.............Answer

Sam can not read part of this homework problem. -7y +5(3 + ___y) Sam knows the expression simplifies to 3y + 15. What number bel
choli [55]
Write and solve an equation, as follows:

-7y + 5(3+ny) = 3y + 15.  We are to find the value of 'n.'

-7y + 15 + 5ny = 3y + 15.

Subtracting 15 from both sides, we get    -7y + 5ny = 3y 

Grouping like terms, we get   5ny = 3y + 7y = 10y

Dividing both sides by 5y, we get n = 2   (answer)

I need help solving 12 1/4 - 5 2/3<br> I’m having trouble
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

6 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to get a common denominator, which is 12

12 1/4 - 5 2/3

12 1/4*3/3 - 5 2/3*4/4

12 3/12 - 5 8/12

We will need to borrow from the 12 since 3/12 is less than 8/12.  Write the 1 we borrow as 12/12

11 + 12/12 + 3/12 - 5 8/12

11 15/12 - 5 8/12

6 7/12
